Soooo close

It was a great effort this past Wednesday as we almost came away with a pair of wins, but instead we'll have to settle for an 0-1-1 mark.

Like I said, a couple of close plays didn't go our way, but hopefully this past week gives us confidence that we can win (like the Caps, go Caps!).

Some quick individual highlights:
*Jim had three straight hits to start the first game and scored a run; he also made an excellent defensive coordinator

* Chad had a sweet right field corner shot for a home run and also three doubles. He also took part of that sweet bouncing assist to Hilary and then to Jim to get that guy thrown out (FOR GOOD)

* Becca had seven hits in eight at bats and scored three runs. Very productive.

* Matt knocked in three runs

* Andrew also had three RKIs in the middle of the order

* Angie had five hits and also recorded three outs in one inning on defense

* Allie had three hits and almost scored once

* Nate had a pair of hits and an RBI and almost had a bases-clearing hit. Almost

* Hilary also had a pair of hits

* Megan took over the team lead in walks and also had three hits.

Game 2 Preview: Hey, eight other teams lost in the crap league

This week we take on one of the four teams named Drunk Again and Looking Score, and fortunately it's the one that also lost two weeks ago. Game time is 7:20 this week so I'm not planning on doing any pre-game necessarily so we will plan to meet up at the field. We are back at our favorite field (Riverside #1 near Wells Street) so extra bonus! See everyone there.

Nate

Umm... maybe we need to bring back those defense signs

Ok, so that was a bad first game. We somehow gave up 18 runs without many balls even making it out of the infield. But I'll try to switch people around less, chant "defense" extra loud and we will hope we have all of our errors out of us.

The offense started great -- 3 of the first four batters scored. Then we unfortunately stopped scoring. Highlights:
* Chad had the first hit and first run of the year
* Andrew was 2 for 2 and scored
* Becca had a sac RBI and a hit
* Jim had a hit and scored a run
* Angie had a sac rbi and had a real nice kick it was just at the center fielder
* Ron had a single and rbi
* Katie had two hits with two outs

There were some other hits and stuff in there, but that's all I can tell from the book for sure. There will definitely be more highlights in weeks ahead.
